About The Study
The study we are doing is called the Everyday Activities and Cardiovascular Health (EACH) project. With the EACH study, we want to figure out what factors contribute to unhealthy hearts and then how leisure activities can play a role in preventing heart disease. Our hearts can be unhealthy when we sleep poorly, feel depressed, are stressed, and do not exercise. Doing your favorite activities might prevent these risk factors from happening. But we need to learn how people do their activities and when they are good for us.
What Does The Study Involve?
The study will have two phases of data collection: an online survey and then a set of questions you complete each day as you go about your life while wearing a Fitbit for two weeks.
First, after you sign up, we will ask you to complete a few surveys about yourself. These surveys are online and you can do them at home or a place you feel comfortable.
Second, we will ask you to come in for a visit to get ready for phase two. When you come to the lab, we will ask you to install an app on your smartphone. For two weeks, this app will occasionally send you a push notification each day to answer a few questions in the app. The questions only take a couple of minutes to complete each time. We will also ask you to wear a Fitbit for the two weeks.
Finally, we will just ask you to drop off the Fitbit.
Participant Compensation:
We will pay you as a thank you for your time and participation in the study. For the first part of the study – the online surveys – you can earn $15.
For the second part of the study – the app and the Fitbit part – we will pay you $30 per week for each of the two weeks. Plus, if you complete most of the app prompts and keep your Fitbit charged (we will explain how to do this all!), you can earn a $10 bonus.
Finally, we will pay you $15 to drop off the Fitbit and answer a few questions about your experience in the study.
To offset the cost of travel, we will also give you $5 for each of the two in-person visits.
If you do everything in the study, you can earn up to $110.
